"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us"

Ralph Waldo Emerson 
February 2012
We are all spiritual beings living a human experience for our own evolution. We have a world of fellow humans who are demonstrating all levels of life experiences.  We can chose experiences at whatever level we need for pure evolution. Remember, you are divine potential with inherent power to rise above any and all conditions and circumstances.  It is primary that you chose wisely to survive for your own growth, and expand your abilities to be role model for others to heal their visible victim status. 

This planet is for experiences.  It is important to be active in your evolution and practice healing on those who've lost their way.  We are all connected. Send that divine potential energy to those who lost their way that they may find their way back to their evolution.  Your participation is a gift of Love for the Valentine month and rest of the year - for unconditional love heals everyone.

May your cup of compassion run over 24/7 all the days of your life for your growth and sharing.

Love for the rest of the Year!
“As the mind realizes itself, it stops identifying with its own thoughts. This leaves a lot of open space.”—A Thousand Names for Joy, Byron Katie

The mind which realizes itself, is the mind unattached.  It is the mind of the observer, the appreciative one, the Divine loving Itself.  Divine Love doesn’t look anything like human love which is conditional.  In fact, Divine Love often looks aloof, unapproachable until you begin to understand.  It is the face of Compassion.  It is always empathetic, but knows nothing of sympathy.  As everything is experience, there is no need to be saved or saving.  Yet in the midst of any type of pain or sadness, Divine Love embraces with a knowledge which has the ability to open the heart center.  This month look inside, look outside, be the loving observer, without judgment, but with great compassion.

Do you ever feel like your life is unbalanced? This is very common in a person’s life. For some it may be the balance between family and a social life. For others this may be a balance between leisure activities and school. These balances are very hard to overcome. One of the most important things to do while finding your balance is to separate yourself into a comfortable environment. Take a deep breath and try to visualize what your goal is. Be realistic about your goal. This technique can be used on anything. Once you establish what you want talk it over with others, and try to set a time for whatever it is you want.

Now the realistic viewpoint of this is that some things will never balance out evenly. For those with the social/family balance, you will clearly see it’s not going to be a 50/50 split. This does not mean you should not try to balance, but be realistic about your goals. I bring this topic up now because life seems to be throwing us through hoops, and now is a better time than ever to find your balance.
Balance
Key Phrase:"I see"
Rules: 11th House of friends, neighbors, society and our future
Symbols & Archetypes: Intellect, Exile, Revolutionary, Water Bearer
Planetary Ruler: Uranus the awakener or the rebel
The Sun entered Aquarius (the Water Bearer) on January 20th and the Chinese New Year of the Dragon started Monday January 23rd. The water Dragon in Chinese mythology is considered to be all powerful and the one who controls water which is the strongest element in the Chinese belief systems.

This year is surely to be marked by powerful decisions for us individually and collectively and we will probably see them revolve around water, technological explosions and spiritual ideas focusing around humanities and unity consciousness. Many astrologers find the bible verse Mark 14:13 to indicate the following of the Aquarian from the Piscean Age - "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him.”

Arguably the most important astrological transit this year is to occur on Tuesday, February 2nd as the planet Neptune enters into its sign of rulership – Pisces, where it will stay until 2025. This means the veil between the spiritual and physical worlds will thin. The more challenging aspects of this passage may include denial, escapism, addictive behaviors, and a lack of direction or purpose. If we seek a more positive expression versus the dissolving aspects we might take note of increased spiritual relationships and if we can see through the “foggy veil” many new creative inspirations like we have never imagined before!

These are truly exciting and expanding times. We are in the embryonic stages of the awakening to the dawn of the Aquarian Age. I bow to my Aquarian friends and the leaders of today who will usher in revolutionary new thoughts and plans for society that will remove old structures that have outlived their usefulness. We are already “seeing” major changes in this reality; just look at the daily news for a glimpse of what is to come. Humanity is rousing from complacency and continues on its evolutionary journey towards a unified consciousness (aided by Neptune in Pisces). The collective conscious is making a path for our future. Inner change always paves the way for outer transformation. Is society awakening more to the idea that we are spiritual beings in physical form; that we share this precious planet and can work in concert to create harmony? I choose to think so!
